Things we missed last week: The Vs series game The Quest of Ki (from Namco) in the Archives. And nothing else that wasn’t covered on RFN 900.
It’s the curse of the Horizon series to get completely overshadowed by something huge coming out in its release window. The original launched right before Breath of the Wild, the sequel right before Elden Ring (look, I didn’t say these were GOOD games, just big ones), and the gratuitous remaster of the original launched the same week as the new Dragon Age. So it goes this week, as Lego Horizon Adventures gets its stuff pushed in (at least as far as this column is concerned) by the double team of Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Tetris Forever. Willem already reviewed the latter, and the former should have a review Soon ™.
Other things to watch this week: Petit Island might be familiar to those of you who watch the Wholesome Direct on 0.5x speed, a new trio of Irem shooters is being bundled for release, and the EggConsole brings another variant on the original Ys.
